Description

We are all used to being told that we only own the air inside our apartments’ walls, although not the walls themselves, depending on which uniquely quirky set of strata laws you live under.

But how about owning the air above your apartment block?  Or even the apartment block next door?

What would you do with it?  Whay would you need it?  And what if the developer has already sold it to someone else.

Also this week we look at the NSW government’s crackdown on embedded networks – and we start by explaining what they are.

And then we find the building all over Australia that are defying rising energy prices by becoming so energy efficient that their apartments’ bills can be less than $10.
